These look correct and vorbis_data.c is the correct location I guess.
Unless it is only used for decoding, then I'm not sure.

No. More channels are valid, but their order is defined by the
application as I recall. So >8 channels should just be pushed through
in the order they are in. Or maybe some might prefer that the first 8
channels of the output match the order for 8 channels and then the
rest are in the order as the come.
